Silence

Silence

A Poem by Neythan Cardoso
"

Its an understanding how we all feel when we feel like we cannot be heard and understood

"

The words have begun to slowly swirl in my head

 

They are slowly gaining speed

 

Getting heavy like lead

 

I try to speak but I can’t

 

Its like no matter how much I try

 

It would come out and sounding like a rant

 

So instead I stay silent but sane

 

Slowly my pressure builds and I might fold

 

It’s penetrating my brain

 

But how long can this last inside?

 

What would happen if I were to burst?

 

Would I do something that would make you want to hide?

 

I cannot say what I feel

 

Because it’s instantly wrong

 

But I’m not sure how much longer I can hold this seal

 

So I stay up every night my mind going wild

 

While you all sleep and dream

 

I’m lying in bed like a restless child

 

I just hope I can figure this out and get it right

 

About what is I need to fix

 

Because it’s not a good feeling being up all night
